[lustre-discuss] Limit to the number of "--servicenode="

[Andreas Dilger]

I haven't checked the code recently, but I believe that there can be up to 32 NIDs assigned per target.  

I've heard of at least some sites that are configuring four OSS nodes per OST, with three OSTs/OSS to allow failover of each OST to a different OSS. That will only increase load on an OSS to 4/3 instead of 2/1 during failover. 

Cheers, Andreas
